  I am glad it helps. I wanted to try making one of the bras that a member had posted in our “pattern” section but was confused by the sizing, so I thought maybe some of the other members might be too. I have yet to find the time to get started on the bra, but I have printed it out. LOL Just like me to start another project when I have so many waiting to be finished! Happy sewing to you all!

  You are welcome! As for the N size, the biggest noncustom size that turned up in my search was 54LL, but in trying to figure out what this meant in terms of, you know, bushels, I encountered another problem—above DD there’s no such thing as standardized measurement. Some establishments go up by pairs, as in D, DD, E, EE, F, FF, and so on, while others, perhaps wishing to leave room for future expansion, go up in triples, D, DD, DDD, E, EE, EEE, etc. The 54LL shop uses the pair method, so presumably a double-L cup size exceeds the band size by 21 inches. (You’re thinking, how does a woman like that stand upright? Answer: with difficulty. Many large-breasted women endure chronic back pain.) Even the 21 inches isn’t certain. I am told some sizing charts skip K, and some shops use measuring systems all their own. Go figure!

    ugh! all of that confusion makes me glad that i’m only a c/d (i think i’m in between sizes as c’s are too low cut, but d’s feel too big ;(……)

    Just like all fashion it up to the company on how they want to label their cup sizes, no standard!
    Oscarthegrouch108, your probably a full C and the fullest part of your bust is between two inch marks.
